Letter of Agreement HMSA EAP Letter of Agreement THIS LETTER OF AGREEMENT is made and entered into, by, and between HEALTH MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS OF AMERICA, (hereinafter referred to as 'HMSA'), whose address is 601 Washington Blvd, Detroit, Michigan 48226 and (hereinafter referred to as 'Provider') with offices at. WHEREAS, Provider provides assessment, referral and counseling services that are appropriate for identified employees; NOW, THEREFORE, the parties agree to the following: 1. The Provider will provide the following services to referred employees: - Assessment of presenting problem(s). - Intervention and/or short-term counseling that is primarily problem solving in nature, for employees, as appropriate and authorized. - The assessment, referral and short-term problem solving counseling, as well as crisis counseling services, will be at no charge to the employee when authorized by HMSA. Longer term counseling when appropriate will be the financial responsibility of the employee. - Services must take place in a professional office space and not in a home office. - Referral to community resources as appropriate. - 36-hour accessibility for referred clients. 2. HMSA requires that all clinical staff minimally possess a Master s degree in social work or Ph.D in Psychology (or other behavioral health field) and at least three (3) years of post-graduate experience in the field of mental health and/or behavioral medicine/substance Abuse. 3. The Provider shall be duly licensed or certified to render services to Covered Individuals, shall maintain himself/herself in good professional standing at all times, and shall be otherwise fit and competent to render Covered Services. Evidence of such licensure or certification shall be submitted to HMSA upon request. The Provider agrees that any employee or agent of the Provider who renders services to Covered Individuals pursuant to this Agreement shall have the appropriate license and/or certification to render such service and shall abide by the Articles of this Agreement. The Provider must have state licensure/certification in the state(s) where services are to be rendered. Please note an agency s license to practice does not substitute for this requirement.

Letter of Agreement 5. HMSA will act as the case manager for all referred employees. HMSA will provide pertinent information related to the referral, including health insurance information when appropriate, and will accept from the Provider periodic reports on referred employees as allowed by confidentiality requirements. 6. HMSA will refer clients for initial assessment plus follow up sessions. The Provider must have access to email or fax in order to receive authorizations and paperwork. Authorization forms will be sent for each initial referral and must be received prior to rendering services. Short-term counseling shall not exceed the number of authorized sessions. 7. The Provider can request re-authorization if a client has more sessions available within their benefit. HMSA will not contact the Provider for re-authorization; therefore, it is the responsibility of the provider to obtain all authorizations prior to rendering services. In cases where short-term counseling is appropriate a treatment plan may be required. Requesting re-authorization does not guarantee approval. The HMSA case manager must approve ongoing short-term counseling and the Provider must receive another authorization form with new sessions authorized. Any short-term counseling provided without the authorization of the HMSA case manager will not be reimbursed. The Provider shall hold client harmless from payment for services rendered if the provider has failed to obtain prior authorization when the client has been referred for services directly from HMSA. 8. The Provider must contact HMSA after the first session if the client has been formally referred or mandated by a supervisor or medical department for an assessment. It is imperative that the Release of Information form be procured and signed by the client to you and HMSA. Information that needs to be relayed to the supervisor or medical department should be specifically discussed with the HMSA counselor so that the supervisor or medical department can be updated regarding the status of the client. Only HMSA should communicate with the client s supervisor or medical department. 9. Direct face-to-face authorized services of assigned employees (EAP Assessment and Short Term Problem Resolution sessions). HMSA will reimburse at the rate of $65 per sixty (60) minute session unless otherwise negotiated. Reimbursement is not made for "no-shows" or "cancellations". Providers are prohibited from seeking payment for services directly from the employee/client for any unauthorized sessions within the client s benefit nor for any amount above the agreed upon rate. 10. When acting as an EAP resource in providing assessments and short-term problem resolution, the Provider is asked to submit all invoices at the conclusion of the episode, unless otherwise arranged. The Provider must submit an HMSA Discharge Summary along with claims after the last session or when EAP sessions are exhausted whichever comes first. In the event of overpayment, reimbursement to HMSA is required within 30 days and may be accomplished through direct repayment or future claim offset. Providers seeking retroactive authorization will be denied. Claims received after 90 days from the last DOS will not be reimbursed. 11. Provider is prohibited from soliciting any direct services from clients or client companies introduced through HMSA. 12. Provider agrees to follow HMSA s terms and conditions, as well as policies and procedures regarding referrals and claim payments.

Upon HMSA s knowledge of a material breach of this Agreement by Business Associate, HMSA may, in its sole discretion, provide an opportunity for Business Associate to cure the breach or otherwise to end the violation and HMSA may terminate this Agreement and all agreements with Business Associate if Business Associate does not cure the breach or end the violation within the time specified by HMSA. If Business Associate knows of a pattern of activity or practice of HMSA that constitutes a material breach or violation of HMSA s obligations under this Agreement, Business Associate must take reasonable steps to cure the breach or end the violation. As one of the reasonable steps to cure the breach or end the violation, Business Associate must provide written notice to HMSA of any pattern of activity or practice of HMSA that Business Associate believes constitutes a material breach or violation of HMSA s obligations under this Agreement within 7 calendar days of discovery and agree to meet with HMSA to discuss and attempt to resolve the problem.

Upon termination of this Agreement for any reason, the following provisions shall apply: (i) Except as provided in paragraph (d)(ii) of this Section, to the extent Business Associate, in violation of this Agreement, has retained any Protected Information to which Business Associate had access as a direct or indirect result of its business relationship with HMSA, Business Associate shall return or destroy all such Protected Information in whatever form or medium, including all copies and all data, compilations, and other works derived from PHI that allow identification of any Individual. This provision shall apply to Protected Information that is in the possession of employees, subcontractors or agents of Business Associate. Business Associate will require any subcontractor to certify to Business Associate that it has returned or destroyed all such information which could be returned or destroyed.

HMSA may terminate this Agreement upon 10 days written notice in the event that Business Associate does not promptly enter into an amendment of this Agreement when requested by HMSA pursuant to this Section 7(a). The obligations of Business Associate under Section 6(d) of this Agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement. Nothing express or implied in this Agreement is intended to confer, nor shall anything herein confer, upon any person other than HMSA, Business Associate and their respective successors or assigns, any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities whatsoever. Except to the extent that federal law shall govern the validity and construction of this Agreement and each of its provisions shall be subject to and governed by the laws of the State of Michigan without giving effect to laws concerning choice of law or conflicts of law.
